Paolo Pellegrini @Paolo Pellegrini Ivan Pironi @Ivan Pironi Mario Cornejo @Mario Cornejo Abdul Rafay-S @Abdul Rafay-S Aisha S @Aisha S Yawa @Yawa Talgat Mendibaev @Talgat Mendibaev Christopher Assal @Christopher Assal Charbel Yazbeck @Charbel Yazbeck Nathan Evans @Nathan Evans Abdelhamid Elbasossi @Abdelhamid Elbasossi Joseph Sebastian @Joseph Sebastian Tuesday is when weekend plans start to change - so if you are going to pull out of the drive: do it now rather than later. We always have drivers that want to fill your space. We have amazing support in this drive, not only from the senior members @Islam Soliman @Veedooshee that will be driving, but also the more experienced drivers that are joining the drive whom we will intersperse in the convoy so that everyone gets the chance to see a great line to drive. Our plan - play around the big bowls and dunes in Murquab for a while. There are some great opportunities for play in just about every direction from the start point. From there we enter the Sand Super Highway. For those that never did this, it's a hold onto your hats baja style thunder through the technical dunes of Lisaili and Murquab (which are really so challenging that that we leave them for the more experienced drivers most of the time.) Form there we arrive West of Qudra and depending on the convoy performance we are going to venture into some more swooping, swinging dunes where you'll get the chance to practice a bit of climbing, cross overs and side scaling before ending up West of last exit and taking ourselves to the tarmac to reinflate. For a newbie, it's going to be a good challenge of what you learned before, for anyone above fewbie, it's going to be a chance to hone your skills and enjoy a supremely picturesque drive. See you soon in the sand.

I'm sure I can help there.

Congratulations @Islam Soliman on an exceptionally well deserved promotion. You're a true asset to this club, embodying everything good about the spirit and DNA of Carnity. Bringing a calm and maturity to everything you do instills absolute confidence in your leadership which I have no doubt you leverage from your professional life ... They must be lucky to have you too. looking forward to driving with you Friday.

Looking forward to your joining and planning to visit some new routes this time round ...

I'm with you buddy. My hairy chest is employed in other avenues. I'll be more than happy to lead as many of this team's drives as desired.

Excellent, balanced report Luca. Seems that there were challenges the whole day. Some people's cars let them down or the other way round and they let their cars down. As your report states: people get stuck. It happens and we deal with it.

Dear Absolute Newbies, You are no longer absolute newbies - after today's drive, you are all firmly in the newbie camp. as we drove our circuitous route this morning from Bab Al Shams to Last Exit you had chances to cross dunes, descend, climb and negitiate some nice obstacles along the way. @abdelrahman abounar your timing ... well less said about that the better. Please listen to the instructions when you have a problem. It will help you and your fellow convoy members. Well done today. A manual is a new set of challenges. @jamie taylor great first drive. Sorry for literally rushing off. A great job by you as a first convoy drive. @Abdul Rafay-S all that time in the passenger seat did you proud. Excellent drive. @Mohamed Samaco Good first drive. Good self recoveries where needed. @Will Seivewright Nice to meet you Will. Strange that the Raptor which has electronics for every little f#$@ has no sensor on the tailgate. @Nivin Outstanding. great support. See you soon in the sand. @jamie taylor I am based in Serena. You? Yes managed to catch up the Raptor ...

Dear Absolute Newbies, Here is the convoy list for the drive tomorrow morning.

Dear @Hisham Masaad if you can add another to your list, I would be very appreciative. If you have too many orders already then I understand.

Hi @jamie taylor thanks for that. Perfect explanation and very common reasons for wanting to try out driving with a club. Look forward to seeing you in the morning.

Can't wait. Dad will be having a great time. Great thanks for that. You can self certify after the first drive.

Hi @Will Seivewright great you signed up for the Absolute Newbie drive in Qudra on Friday. I am looking forward to meeting you. We ask all new drivers to tell us a little about themselves, so we can plan around the needs of the convoy. So please can you let us know: Is your car modified in any way? [Will, we know that the Raptor is a very capable vehicle without modification, but you never know] How much experience do you have off road and in the desert? I noticed you originally signed up for one of our intermediate drives. What's your eventual 4x4 goal? It would be good to know what you want to get out of off roading. Thanks and looking forward to seeing you on Friday.

@Taufique Surve congrats on the promotion. Looking forward to more drives with you soon.

@Wade Pat2 great news and massive congrats. No doubt more drives, more fun, more wonderful opportunities to see the project in progress

@Pacific great news for you. Am sure you'll enjoy the new rank with the same enthusiasm as every other challenge you faced in Carnity.

Abdul Rahman @Abdul Rahman AK congrats on your promotion. Look forward to seeing you soon in the sand.
